Expansion by established players is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Established players are greatly expanding their reach in terms of the number of bowling alleys and geographical existence. Bowling centers around the world have started to attract more consumers due to the success of the home entertainment center idea. This has encouraged established bowling center providers to invest in launching new home entertainment centers to expand their geographical presence. Bowlero, Hollywood Bowl Group, and ROUND ONE are some of them that are engaged in expanding their geographical existence.
Moreover, the Hollywood Bowl Group continues its rapid growth with more than 110 centers across the UK and Canada as of October 2022. Some other expanding providers are ROUND ONE, Bowl America, and Ten Entertainment Group. Hence, the continued expansion of key suppliers into such new geographies will be the high-volume driver for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Bowling centers gaining popularity in emerging countries is the primary trend in the market. Bowling is considered a costly sport in emerging countries like India and South Africa. The average cost per game in these countries is also relatively higher than in developed countries. Indeed, bowling is not a popular sport in India and other emerging countries. As a result, adoption has so far remained very low in APAC and Africa.
However, the situation is changing as the sport is gaining popularity in these countries. Emerging countries often experience rapid urbanization and a growing middle class with disposable income. Urban areas provide favorable environments for recreational and leisure sports such as bowling. As the economy improves and disposable income increases in emerging countries, more people can afford to pay for recreational sports such as bowling, which will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
A fragmented market structure is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. The global bowling center market is fragmented, with the presence of several established players and many regional players. Moreover, in the world, there are no strict regulations on the establishment of bowling centers. Starting a bowling center is also a one-time investment. This is driving more and more players to enter the market.
Moreover, the presence of specialized bowling centers in the hotel helps consumers experience bowling right on their premises. So hotel guests don't need to go to exclusive bowling centers. Furthermore, hotels offer bowling packages to attract more consumers. The fragmented nature of the market may hinder the global bowling center market during the forecast period.
The synthetic lane segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Synthetic bowling alleys are known for their durability and stable playing surface. Unlike wood, which can wear and change due to heat and humidity, synthetic lanes provide a more stable and predictable experience for bowlers. Synthetic lanes can be designed with different lane styles and conditions in mind, making them versatile for different skill levels and bowling events.

The synthetic lane segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 5.56 billion in 2017. Synthetic lanes provide a valuable level of consistency in professional and tournament bowling. This is crucial to ensure fair and accurate comparisons between bowlers. The synthetic lanes are equipped with an advanced scoring system that improves the overall bowling experience for players and spectators. The rising popularity of bowling will increase the demand for synthetic lanes which in turn will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
North America is estimated to contribute 39% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

The US is the largest market for bowling centers in North America. Bowlero, Bowl America, Strikes, and Spares are some of the top market players in the US. Bowling is one of the most popular recreational sports of the American people. The main reason for this redesign was to attract more families and recreational pitchers to join the sport. In addition, recreational bowlers are an important source of revenue for bowling centers. So, providers like Bowlero and Bowl America want to turn their bowling centers into family entertainment centers where families can spend long, quality time. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth in this region during the forecast period.
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the bowling market in North America was negatively affected in March 2020. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives?lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the resumption of business activities.
